X = -3

Solution:
Distribute
6(x)+(6)(-1)+-x=-21

Combine
(6x+-x) + (-6) = -21
5x + -6 = -21
5x - 6 = -21

Add 6 to both sides
5x -6 + 6 = -21 +6
5x = -15

Divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = -15/5
x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

6(x - 1) - x = -21

Multiply the number outside of the brackets with numbers in the brackets on LHS.

⇛6x - 6 - x = -21

Shift constant from LHS to RHS, changing it's sign.

⇛6x - x = -21 + 6

Subtract the values on LHS and RHS.

⇛5x = -15

Shift the number 5 from LHS to RHS.

⇛x = -15/5

Therefore x = -3

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

The expression 6+16k factored using the GCF is what???????

tatiyna

Answer:

2(3 + 8k)

Step-by-step explanation:

given : 6+16k

note that the GCF of 6 and 16 is 2, hence we can factor 2 out of the expression

6+16k

= (2)(3) + (2)(8k)

= 2(3 + 8k)

The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as a function of its current x xx (in amperes) is modeled by P ( x ) = −

marysya [2.9K]

Given:

The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as a function of its current x (in amperes) is modeled by

$P(x)=-15x(x-8)$

To find:

The current which will produce the maximum power.

Solution:

We have,

$P(x)=-15x(x-8)$

$P(x)=-15x^2+120x$

Differentiate with respect to x.

$P'(x)=-15(2x)+120(1)$

$P'(x)=-30x+120$ ...(i)

To find the extreme point equate P'(x)=0.

$-30x+120=0$

$-30x=-120$

Divide both sides by -30.

$x=4$

Differentiate (i) with respect to x.

$P'(x)=-30(1)+(0)$

$P'(x)=-30$ (Maximum)

It means, the given function is maximum at x=4.

Therefore, the current of 4 amperes will produce the maximum power.

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

$1\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer, you first need to convert the mixed number (2 1/3) into a improper fraction and then multiply.

$\frac{3}{4} \times2\frac{1}{3}$

$2\frac{1}{3} =3\times2=6+1=7=\frac{7}{3}$

$\frac{3}{4} \times\frac{7}{3}$

$3\times7=21$

$4\times3=12$

$=\frac{21}{12} =\frac{7}{4} =1\frac{3}{4}$

$=1\frac{3}{4}$

Hope this helps.
